Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 1659

Chapter 1659: Words that Kill the Heart

Maddox watched the backs of the siblings until he suddenly realized what he had lost. Even if he regained control of the Riddle family, what did it matter? He had no descendants. Penelope was dead. Ache and Kaitlyn's biological father was unknown, a bastard child from who knows where. Leon, Hattie, Selena - none of them would acknowledge him as family.

Without an heir to inherit his legacy, what good were all those things he had acquired? In his youth, Maddox didn't think twice about secretly replacing a wife for the sake of love. He never realized how much it would affect him until now.

Maddox finally understood that what he lost far outweighed anything he gained. Not only did he lose control over Riddle Group but also its bloodline... all those past sins and darkness came back to haunt him in a more cruel way than ever before.

He let out a loud scream in agony but no matter how much regret or unwillingness filled his heart, neither Leon nor Hattie turned back even once.

Maddox watched helplessly as his last descendant left and covered his head with both hands before bursting into tears.

After some time passed in silence, a voice suddenly echoed through the quiet space.

"What does it feel like to be betrayed by everyone, Maddox?"

Maddox heard the voice and looked up, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the man in front of him. He roared in anger, "Oscar!"

Oscar looked at him calmly with clear eyes. "It should have been my younger brother who saw you off on your final journey, but he's out and hasn't returned yet. So I'll do it for him."

Maddox's face twisted even more when Callum was mentioned. If it weren't for Callum, where would Nevaeh get the courage to defy him? If Nevaeh had just stayed out of Kiera's way and not fought over Callum with her, how could Kiera have gone down the path of betrayal that led to the downfall of the Riddle family?! And if Nevaeh hadn't given birth to Selena with Callum, how could Riddle Group have been destroyed?! The tragedy of the Riddle family was all because of Callum!
